Atashi o erabanakatta kimi eTo the one who didn’t choose me,

Atarimae desho atashi ima da katsute nai kurai ni kizutsuite n da karaIt’s only natural, since I’m hurting more than I ever have before.
Seikaku ga warui to iwaremashite moEven if you say I’ve got a bad personality,
Soko ga kawaii tte itte kureta anta no sei dait’s your fault for telling me that side of me was cute.
Konna ni suki ni natta koto wa nakatta kurai suki dattaI loved you so much, more than I’ve ever loved anyone else.
Mou kimi no koibito janai nante dare ni mo mada iitakunai yoI still don’t want to tell anyone that I’m not your girlfriend anymore.

Moushiwakenai kedo shibaraku shiawase ni nannaideI’m sorry, but please don’t be happy for a while.
Atashi o erabanakatta kimi eTo the one who didn’t choose me,
Ano toki ni arigatou tte omoeru kurai ni naru madeuntil the day I can finally look back and feel thankful for that time,
Sotto ikitete kanojo wa sugu tsukuranaidejust live quietly and don’t get a new girlfriend right away.
Atashi ga ii to iu made shiawase ni naranaide neDon’t be happy until I say it’s okay.

Otome shitsuren jiken genba hisan desu doushiyou mo naithe scene of this girl’s broken heart is just tragic, and there’s nothing I can do.

Hoka no ko ga shiranai kimi o mita ki ga shite mada shiritakattaI felt like I saw a side of you that no other girl knew, and I wanted to know more.
Atashi o erabanakatta kimi eTo the one who didn’t choose me,
